PREGAME NOTES:
- The Bruins, losers of seven of their last eight games, will switch around their lineup, with Par Lindholm and Brett Ritchie replacing David Backes and Joakim Nordstrom on the fourth line. Connor Clifton will remain in the lineup on defense, while Jaroslav Halak will get the nod in net.
- The Predators are wrapping up a four-game road trip tonight, with Nashville 2-0-1 so far on this jaunt. Mikael Granlund (day-to-day) and Viktor Arvidsson (Injured Reserve) have been skating with the team but have not played so far on this road trip. There stands a chance that they could return for tonight’s matchup.
- Once again, Nashville’s strength is primarily drawn from its blue line, with defensemen Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis leading the club in scoring with 31 and 27 points, respectively.
- Nashville is 13-13-(1)-2 all-time against the Bruins, including a 3-8-(1)-2 record on the road. Nashville has won five of its last eight meetings against the Bruins (5-3-0), but they're searching for their first win in Boston since Dec. 7, 2015.
